TRANSPARENT Renewed for Season 2 by Amazon

TRANSPARENT debuted on Amazon less than two weeks ago, and the response was so impressive, Amazon Studios already made the call to renew it for a second season.

“We are absolutely thrilled that the response to Transparent has been so positive,” said Roy Price, Vice President of Amazon Studios in a statement. “Our goal is to create series that customers love, so it’s great to hear that TRANSPARENT has not only risen to the no. 1 series on Prime Instant Video, but that it’s deemed ‘binge worthy’ as well. Given all this great feedback, it only makes sense to bring the Pfeffermans back next year in season two.”

According to Amazon (which doesn’t make streaming numbers available), “Prime members are finding it very hard to step away from all ten episodes of TRANSPARENT. Since its debut, TRANSPARENT is the most binge-watched TV series on Prime Instant Video with nearly 80 percent of all viewers binging on two or more episodes of the series in the same day. This makes TRANSPARENT’s binge-factor higher than any of the other Prime Instant Video binge leaders in the past.”
